Julie Skolnick, M.A., J.D.-Join us as Julie discusses the twice exceptional profile, the 2e person’s inner experience, strategies that are immediately applicable for parents and educators, and advocacy tips necessary to encourage the adults in 2e kids’ lives to implement best practices.
The objective of this presentation is to empower parents, educators and professionals to bring out the best and raise self-confidence in twice exceptional kids through an understanding of the 2e person's inner experience, through strategies that are immediately applicable for parents and educators, and through advocacy tips necessary to encourage the adults in 2e kids' lives to implement best practices. In order to accomplish this, we will take a deep dive into the 2e profile looking at definitions of giftedness, myths surrounding the profile, discussing 2e characteristics: asynchronous development, perfectionism/anxiety and OEs. We will discuss how gifted brains differ from neuro-typical brains and will introduce the idea of responsive parenting and teaching rather than reactive parenting and teaching. Participants will learn specific strategies that are particularly impactful for the 2e population including strategies to forge and maintain personal connections, strategies for positively reframing typical 2e characteristics and behaviors and maintaining a strengths-based approach, how to anticipate challenging behavior by identifying lagging skills and unsolved problems, how to give meaningful choices that allow the child to take control, and the importance of sense of humor and exercise for this population. Finally, we will discuss best approaches for collaborative advocacy on behalf of 2e learners. The overarching message is that all kids want to do well and that 2e kids come with incredible potential because, not despite their differences. We must circle the wagons of the adults in 2e kids' lives in order to support them in a way that strengthens their self confidence so they can thrive.
